A total of fifteen such vehicles, dubbed VBHP — for Véhicule blindé hautement protégé –, was ordered in April 2009 for a sum of about €20 million. This specific procurement, made under a French Army crash programme (UOR), is aimed at providing the Armée de Terre’s Engineer Detachment on duty with ISAF in Afghanistan with a highly protected road reconnaissance vehicle likely to defeat and resist any standard IED explosion.
